I bought this can specifically to match my black Jeep because I didnt want to mess with having to go somewhere and have it painted, which would have cost as much as the can. Unfortunately, the can is too big for my Smittybilt Atlas bumper, you know the one that has two gas can holders welded onto the bumper. It does not clear the bar on the top of the bumper, so it goes in crooked, which causes the can to bump against my tailgate. Ive already put some nice scratches on the can trying to get it to fit. Also, I have to turn the spout in toward the middle of the bumper for the best fit. The other drawback is now I am having to figure out how to secure the can to the bumper. It fits so tight (and crooked) that I cant get one of those locking gas can holders. Will probably have to only put the can on the Jeep when I plan on going off-roading....disappointing.
Solid heavy duty construction. No leaks. Spout pours quickly, but is not flexible and have had trouble completely emptying the contents into my fuel tank. I attached some clear tubing to the end and will try that the next time I fill up.
I have owned 2 of these cans for the last year. Both are riding in the rack on top of my Jeep. I have driven through dense brush, rock crawled, gone mudding, and driven thousands of miles in every possible condition, including hail.
These cans look basically as good as the day I bought them. They have leaked exactly zero drops of gas. No gas evaporation either. Even in the middle of a Texas summer!
In short, these things are incredible. I plan to buy 2 more to have a total of 4 cans riding up top. They have my fully unqualified recommendation for any application. They dont vent gas vapors or leak at all, so they can be used inside a vehicle or home. is the only fuel can I trust now.
The pictures were taken AFTER both cans rode up there for a full year - nonstop.
Bought two for Hurricane Irma. These things are a MUST if you dont want to wait in long lines at a gas station when youre trying to evacuate. There are some cheaper brands out there but when it comes to leaking gas a few dollars saved is NOT worth it. I chose black because theyre VERY inconspicuous without the typical Red, Yellow, or Blue color coding. There were several times when I mentioned this was a gas can and they said they had no idea.
Very solid cans with a solid latching system to prevent leaks and fumes. The spout comes with an adapter.
My only gripe is I ordered (2x) black cans. I received (2x) red cans. Its not worth the hassel to return since I can still use them. I knocked off a star for the mistake.
The spout has multiple pieces and falls apart easily, I wish it were one piece or easier to keep together. Also the paint chips easily and my caps retainer pin is easily bent, which sometimes makes opening and closing a difficult task.

Very heavy when filled - does not have a good way to hold when pouring - needs a side handle - would help greatly.
